Shaped Wagon Project by: Shyann Krobetzky- Project Engineer Hannah Calkins- Research Engineer Trevor Finch- Mechanical Engineer Jacob Delay- Mechanical Engineer

Problem A children's toy store chain would like to add a series of mechanical toys to their product line due to customer demand.

Constraints Must be driven or operated by hand by a single child powered input. Only stores along the northeast coast will be involved in the test market. Must have at least 3 animated parts in the design. Overall dimensions should be no larger than 12”x12”x12”. Attractive and colorful. Deadline for prototype submission is June 4 th 2015.

Possible Solutions/ Concept Sketches Each team member came up with 2 ideas Jacob had the idea of the Easter bunny that bounces as the crank is turned. His second idea was a car that the people bounced in as the car drove. Trevor had the idea of a wagon with shapes on top that went up and down as the wagon was turned. His second idea was a windmill that spun as a crank was turned. Shyann came up with the idea of a snow globe. Her second idea was a track that marbles role on. Hannah had the idea of a lady that would bend over and “water” a flower as a crank was turned and the flower would grow. Her second idea was 3 chickens that would peck the ground as the crank was turned.
